Design and Development of S-band WR-340 Waveguide Full Height to Quarter Height Transitions for Satellite Testing Applications

The paper presents a theoretical approach to design S-band WR-340 Waveguide full height to quarter height transition. Preliminary design is finalized by calculating Theoretical parameters, further design optimization is carried out using High frequency structure simulator software (HFSS). This technical paper presents the work carried out for realization of such waveguide transitions used for Satellite testing applications. The Aluminum (AL6061) material is used for fabrication of the transition. This Developmental work has resulted in large savings in Foreign Exchange within short turnaround time.
